ultrasound today!

Baby still has girl parts!
she's measuring a couple of weeks behind, but it looks like she's approx 6lbs!

21 days to go!!

an update of sorts...

Yes, I realize it has been over a month since I blogged. I'm sorry. No really- I am!

It has been crazy busy around here and blogging has been the last thing on my list of priorities. Why? Well lets see...where to begin...

Well first of all I'm 8 months pregnant and I'm TIRED. That should be enough right there- right?

Second of all, we're moving. We've been looking for a house for like 6 months and have seen around 30 houses. Well, something like that. I lost count after the 18th house and I know we've seen at least 12 since then. Finally, we found one. And we're scheduled to move 5 days before the baby is due. Yeah...I hear that's nuts.

I was *really* excited until Sunday and now panic is setting in. I've got a "control notebook" going where I'm listing what needs to go in what room, what the essentials are that need (*MUST*) be unpacked first in case I end up at the hospital for a few days having a baby before the house gets unpacked. (however since my children like to torture me, good chance we'll be all moved in and settled and THEN the baby will decide to grace us with her presence...). Rather than getting bombarded with phone calls from Grandma and Hubs (who will be on kidwatch) with them asking me where everything is (and heck if I will actually know the answer to that), I figure if the *important* stuff gets put away first, that will reduce headaches all the way around.

I haven't packed a single thing yet though- I don't know where to start!

Oh and I am in no way/shape/form ready to have this baby. I have nothing ready for her. NOTHING.
I haven't washed a single piece of baby clothes yet, she has no place to sleep, no place to PUT her clothes once they're washed...maybe moving will help with some of that? I haven't pulled out ANY of the baby stuff...you know- blankets, swing, burp cloths...
I don't have a hospital bag packed (maybe I should put that on my list of things to do)

I have 1 thing done. I bought a carseat. A pink one. And as long as the baby comes out with girl parts- then we're good! Oh and I pulled out all of Sassy Pants' old clothes and figured out what I have compared to what I need and Grandma has been out shopping to fill in the gaps..


So that's pretty much my update.

24 days until my due date
19 days until the move

and this is me starting to pull out my hair.

a funny...from hubs

I found this on my fridge a few weeks ago and finally decided to share it:

Hubs filled it out as a joke and I cant bring myself to take it down because every time I read it I cant stop laughing!

7 lbs of BEANS?! Make a sensory table!

I had 7lbs of beans and NO clue what to do with them....
so today when the babies (Scooty and Girl Pal) were going crazy trashing my house it dawned on me I could use them to keep them busy!

Materials:

-7lbs of beans

-underbed chest or big bin

-scoops/containers or whatever from around the kitchen

-we also pulled out some dump trucks and scooper trucks

-wide open space to play in

instructions:

Dump all the beans in the bin, have fun!

We played on the kitchen floor because it was easy to clean up beans, but if you do it on carpet, you may want a blanket or sheet underneeth for easier clean up.

you can store the beans in the bin, but since I dont have a place to store mine flat, I scooped up all the beans and put them in an empty/clean ice cream bucket with a lid. And we can use them again another day!

Merdollies...take 2

I *finally* finished Sassy Pant's Merdolly!

Only took me an hour to finish her up and Sassy is just SO happy!!

Here are both merdollies together! I'm so glad they're done, now I can move on to other projects...FINALLY....

Check this out...a sling out of a bedsheet...

Megan posted this on her blog and it blew my mind. A sling out of a bedsheet?! Now where the heck was this youtube video 2 years ago when I was trying to get Scooty to love my OTSBH?! (he HATED it btw...I ended up borrowing a bjorn for him because he was an uncooperative little booger) I still have my OTSBH...and I've inhereted a 2nd one... but hey who needs that when you can use a BEDSHEET!

this is what happens when...

..you skip your nap and are forced to go grocery shopping with mom...

thankfully mom had her camera stashed in her purse and was able to take a picture of my cuteness.

p.s. do I need a haircut? Grandpa says I'm starting to look like a girl...
mom says its cute and loves my little fly away curlies
